We are still waiting for the loch level to get low enough for the outer ring walls of the island to be exposed so that they can be properly surveyed and recorded. Rains continue to be relatively heavy but we hope that the team will be able to visit later in the summer.
We have used donations to date to cover the work so far and do need donations and sponsorships to complete the Phase II and III work and progress on toward masonry consolidation and excavation. Thank you again for all your support!
PLEASE NOTE that we have updated the What's In A Name page with information from Scottish place name experts. We feel very confident that the island is not named for a cow and is most likely referring to a (malicious) water sprite associated with dangerous submerged rocks ... consistent with those at the south end of the island. See What's In A Name for opinions from the experts and our interpretation.
Thank You!
